I Timothy Eggleston of Goshen in the county of Addison and state of Vermont. On oath do declare and say, that I served in the army of the United States, in the War of the Revolution, on the Continental Establishment as a soldier, against the common enemy, for the term of Seven years . That is to say - I enlisted into the service of the United States in the month of May 1775 in a company com- manded by Capt. Abraham Sedgwick in Col. Benjamin Hinman, Regiment in the Connecticut line, for the term of nine months, and served out my time faithfully at Ticonderoga, Crown Point and on Lake Champlain - And again in the winter of the year, (I think in February) 1776 I enlisted into the said service in a company commanded by Capt. Hubbard in Col. Jedediah Huntington, Regiment in the Connecticut line - for the term of one year, and went with the continental troops to Roxbury near Boston, and at Dorchester Point - and when the enemy evacuated Boston, I went with the con- tinentals troops to New York - was in the battle on Long Island - and retreated from Long Island to New York - and remained in said service, in the vi- cinity of New York - at Peekskill, and in the Jersey until the expiration of the period of my enlist- ment, and was at the taking of the Hessians at Trenton -
And at the expiration of the last mentioned term of my enlistment, I again enlisted into said service, in a company commanded by Capt. (after- wards Major) Throop - in a Regiment commanded by Col. (afterwards Genl.) Huntington - in the connec-

ticutt line - for the period of clearing the war - which was (to the best of my recollection) in February or March 1777 - and continued in said service, at Peekskill - in the Jerseys - and in Pennsylvania - and was in the battles of Brandywine - Germantown and Monmouth - and lay one winter in Valley Forge - and was in the Front Guard under Genl. Lee in Monmouth battle - and was with Genl. Wayne at the taking of Stony Point - and was, dur- ing said service, six months in Genl. Washington's life guard - and was honorably discharged from said service at the close of the war in the year 1783 at Kings Ferry in the State of New York - and I do further declare, that I am in the 60 th year of my age - a resident citizen of the United States, and in reduced circumstances and now in need of assistance from my country for support - nor do I know of any other evidence in my power now to substantiate the foregoing facts.
